The Academy: Law Related Education

datePosted on 21:43, July 20th, 2008 by mrosman

All this week I’ll be at The Academy conference, put on by the State Bar of Texas’ Law Related Education department.

After only one lecture I have SEVERAL blog ideas that I will be posting about soon.

  • Changing the Constitution
  • “Would you Sign the Constitution? Would you Sign the Constitution in 1789?”
  • The Senate is undemocratic
  • The Electoral College is outdated
  • Why the Governator should be able to run for President
  • Judicial Advocacy
  • Forced (compulsory) voting
  • Stupid Square States
  • and many more!

I also have a lot of great lesson plan ideas that I’ll be using this next year. Can’t wait!

    A few comments on these topics:
    1) Of course the Senate is undemocratic. That’s kind of the point. The Senate is supposed to protect the interests of states, not of persons. For the record, the Constitution is undemocratic as well: Not only does it prevent the will of the majority in many situations (See the counter-majoritarian difficulty), but it also guarantees a Republican form of government to the states.

    2) Outdated is a loaded word. If you’re going to run with this article, I would either amend the word outdated, or define very clearly what you mean by that concept before going into the topic.

    3) Technically speaking, I’m not sure anything is preventing the Governator from running for President. He just couldn’t take office if he won. That would be fun.

    Outdated as in has out lived its purpose. As in typewriters and butter churns.
    Perhaps, however, it is a loaded term. I’ll think about it before I post.

    Thanks
